ALE-L04 b131 (V100R001C578B131) cannot upgrade to lollipop 5.1

I just got a Huawei P8lite ALE-L04 b131 (V100R001C578B131) and i can't upgrade to android lollipop 5.1
I have tried for hours to upgrade my phone the right way :
- downloading the 2 packs
- extracted them
- extracted the "kitkat to lollipop" pack into dload on a free sandisk 32gb sd card
- held volume +/- and power button
- But "Software install failed" ... I couldn't even get to the second part ...
It just seem that the b131 can't upgrade to lollipop 5.1
I'm not the only one who has this problem : Here's other people with the same problem on the Huawei web site forum :
community(.)gethuawei(.)com/devices/p8_lite/f/52/t/2713
Has anyone else gotten this problem? Does anybody know a way that I could try to upgrade to 5.1?
I really want to upgrade to 5.1, I don't want to be stuck on 4.4. My last phone (Moto g) at least had lollipop, now im regressing

Hello,
Try this guide: http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/10/update-huawei-p8-lite-ale-l04-to-b309-lollipop/
And read carefully this:

Anyway my firmware is not the same as the one in the guide. Mine's V100R001C578B131. And therefore I don't think it will ever work with these files.
Maybe there are other packeages for my ALE-L04 b131 (V100R001C578B131) with 3.0 EMUI. I searched but couldn't find them; like if they just don't exist...

same issue
I have this same phone and the same problem. Been working on this all day and I will have to phone their support tomorrow. :crying:

Same build number here B131 anyone figure the issue out? thanks oh one more thing is it possible to update with a macbook?

Found Marshmellow Update Link for Honor 7
Hi,
I have purchased this phone but sadly its Model Number PLK-UL00 not PLK-L01. I have upgraded to the latest build EMUI4.0_PLK-UL00_6.3.1 which is Android Version 6.0.
My question is - can I upgrade to EU version of the firmware PLK-L01 B320 or less. All I want is to get rid of all the chinese apps and replace them with pure google + english ones. Please help

Can you make a banana milkshake with strawberries? You can't. Same with installing the European build Android on Indian, Chinese etc.

First of all, thanks for posting the link and secondly you can very well update you mobile as I have already done that with your link

Hi - Indian firmware version starts with PLK-UL00IN. My mobile firmware version is PLK-UL00. Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to the India firmware.
My apologies to the admin in advance as I have posted similar question in a different thread. But this thread is more suitable to the topic. I am a novice when it comes to firmware.

I tried updating , it failed.. the software update guidelines.pdf which was part of the update states "software version control problems, you should firstly upgrade a transfer package provided by R&D." wher do i get that ?

Hi I updated it with the link provided. Did the archive download properly? Since it's an internal document, I don't think the package is available in public domain. You can check for the rollback package which is given in one of the threads. It might work. Or use the honor multi tool.
Btw, this update is 2 steps forward and one step back. Some good features like visitor mode have been removed. Call recording has become problematic. Previously, I could record easily using boldbeast call recorder. Settings are much more difficult to find. On the positive side, battery backup has jumped tremendously. Plugged out at 9.40 am today. My phone is still at 75 percent at 6.30 pm with moderate use. There is no doze mode setting but I think they have incorporated some features as I can see that phone goes into sleep when screen is off much more frequently. Also, the awesome themes that lollipop had are no more there. Not even the live wallpapers. Mixed feelings about the update overall.

MD5 checksum is F697BB78C8E8202DC78716C8647E8706.
Yeah I was on 160 and did a local update as you suggested. Better download it again. But frankly, I am finding the update more regressive than progressive.

I think many of us may not be aware as how to perform local update in honor 7 which has marshmallow installed on it. I have gone through it and understand how it feels when you download an update and while trying to find local update option update app. Its frustrating and discouraging too. But I could find the way to do it on some other site. Its simple and easy. Just see below.
How to Update
Unpack the firmware package on your computer.
Transfer the extracted dload folder to your phone’s microSD card.
Take a backup of your important stuff using Huawei’s native app.
Safely unplug the USB cable and turn your phone off.
Reboot while holding Vol Up + Vol down + Power for a few seconds. Release Power upon vibration.
Once the upgrade starts let go of the volume keys and allow the installation to proceed.
And enjoy

I am on B386 and the Ota B575 is coming automatic.
But your M8 must be on Stock Recovery and unrooted!
After B575 comes B577 then the last Ota B581
This is all.

Cannot find update Huawei P8

Hello everybody
I have a Huawei P8 (GRA-L09) with EMUI 4.0.1 on it. A friend of me has the exact same phone but in black, and he has already the 4.0.3 update. Which is for example eye-comfort what I really find useful. Update-management and HiSuite can't find any updates. Is there a way to get the update anyway? Note: I have bought him refurbished with Android 6.0, and when I boot, I see the logo of Vodaphone. How can I update my phone?
Thank you!

The most likely reason you're not getting past 4.0.1 is because your phone is network-branded - by Vodafone in your case.
So, unless you debrand your phone (example here) to enable you to safely install the latest non-branded update(s) manually, you'll have to wait for Vodafone to release newer updates.
Can you tell us the full 'Build number' in Settings > About phone (in this format or similar: GRA-L09CxxxBxxx). Also, which country you bought the phone from?

Thanks for your reaction! I don't have experience with that sort of things so I'm not going to try that. Thanks anyway for the idea. My buildnumber is GRA-L09C02B397. I've bought the phone on greenmobile.nl, so I think he's from the Netherlands.

No problem, I was not recommending to try it, but only mentioned it so you'll understand the difference, & that it is possible.
Anyway, I think you're in luck, as Vodafone have released a EMUI 4.0.3 update, which you can get from here (view the screenshot posted by djg269 in post #3): [Firmware] Huawei P8 GRA-L09C432 B403 posted by member Kris van Kooten

Hi

I've no idea, as these things differ from one company to another.
As you'll be applying an official network update, it shouldn't be a problem, but if in doubt ask greenmobile.

I have the same problem kindly help me
The problem.is same but my model no is GRA-LO9C02B191.It is not detecting any update what should i do?

1st hint
Go settings > update > menu > download last full update. It is possible that hidden update will show.
2nd hint:
Download B200 official update, transfer on SD card and update manually. Then all updates shall be possible to do.
3rd hint:
Make debranding as in tutorial and then install on B170 a B200 update as in hint 2. Somwhere near B380 it will be required to make as in hint 1 to get B520 (newest one)

Zte a2017gv1.0.0b11

Hi everyone !
i have many issues and limitations on my ZTE Axon 7 like battery drain and problems to connect with google account, remove or change it etc. Basically I'm not allowed to do anything telling me I dont have admin rights.. I tried already many solutions to sort these issues but none worked. Even if I do a factory reset I will still encounter same issues. I have european version of the phone I'm on build number ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B11, MIFavor UI 4.0, Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.20 and I want to upgrade it to B35 or a much more recent version. The update in the settings is telling me 'software up to date' so cant do it automatically.
Which version would you advise to have the most efficient and less limitative interface (maybe even avoid overlayers from zte) ? could you help me explaning how to choose and do an upgrade with all detailed steps? also I am wondering if any problem with upgrading and my phone doesnt work can I do a factory reset or nothing and do I lose the warranty doing so? I am looking for most simple way to do so (for a newbie)
thanks a lot !

Download the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM, put the update.zip in the root of SD and use the system update app. From that ROM there is a new Nougat B10 update as a precursor to updating to Oreo soon.

B35 is US. You have to use B08 or 09. But yeah, just update to B08

The Nougat V1.2.0B10 just released. You may get it from the ZTE Germany page.

@ko_wei13 is it compatible to update from ZTE A2017G V1.0.0B11 to V1.2.0B10 ? if I download it from the german website can I set any language after update?

@RobboW on which website can I find / download right package of the A2017G B08 Nougat ROM compatible with my build version?

Yes, minimum requirement to update to Nougat is V1.0.0B11. So you can download the file and place it under the root directory of your phone storage and the system update will automatically detect it.
For language, there is no issue for you to change it as the ROM is for global, not limit to German.

I flashed it on my G. Had a couple of glitches but mostly ok. They say you should do a major update after a factory reset. I didn't but the glitches were minor and it seems to be working ok now.

thanks worked great !

@yann360,
Hi,
Yeah, you can set most language in your phone. You can upgrade your phone via SD card.
Thanks!
